Cách reset sound windows 7

Windows 7 uses drivers to interface with the equipment installed to the computer. Without a working driver, a device can't receive instructions from the operating system. The Device Manager, accessible from Control Panel, enables users to control the drivers installed to the PC. If the audio output or input on the PC stops working, preventing you from giving a video presentation to potential customers or participating in a conference call with employees, the sound driver could be disabled. Restart the device in the Device Manager to restore function to the sound card.

1. Click "Start | Control Panel | Hardware and Sound | Device Manager," or click "Start," type "device manager" into the Search field and press "Enter."

2. Double-click "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-click the sound driver and click "Enable" to restart the device.

3. Restart the computer, if prompted, to turn the sound card back on.

Sometimes, when I start my machine, the volume control is set to 100, but it plays relatively quiet. I can fix it by rebooting my machine. Is there a way to restart audio devices, without rebooting the computer?

I also had to stop AudioEndpointBuilder and restart it

net stop audiosrv
net stop AudioEndpointBuilder
net start audiosrv
net start AudioEndpointBuilder

If you look at Windows' Task Manager's "services" tab, that might help you identify what services you have tied to audio.

Open up a command prompt as administrator and run:

net stop audiosrv
net start audiosrv

This restarts the Windows service responsible for handling audio.

For Windows 7, I used this and hope it will work for all Windows flavors:

1. Right click on My Computer
2. Chose Manage
3. Select Device Manager in the left panel
4. Expand Sound, video and game controllers
5. Find your audio driver and right click on it.
6. Chose Disable
7. Right click on the audio driver again
8. Chose Enable

It should start working now.

Check your device manager and go to audio in and outputs. Now check the box show hidden devices (in view) and delete all the devices other than the ones that you have when you didn't show the hidden devices. Reboot.

There must have been some leftover drivers that interfered.

Thanks for the answer, it helped me too. Something stuck in my sound card buffer and kept looping. I was not able to disable my card in Device Manager, (it wanted to restart Windows 7). But stopping the service helped, (though only that did not solve my problem alone).

So this is what I did:

net stop audiosrv
net stop AudioEndpointBuilder

Then I was bale to disable the audio device in Device Manager. Then I re-enabled it, and

net start audiosrv

This reset my card and solved my issue.

This problem is intensely annoying. I have found a solution that works for me. It isn't permanent as you have to do it each time the speakers stop, but it is better than restarting all the time.

Go to Device Manager Right click on Sound video and game controllers and click "scan for hardware changes"

That works for me.

I came looking for a way to restart my Creative X-Fi Titanium driver w/out restarting. Sometimes when I change the Mode, I'll get a buzz out of the right channel that may force me to restart Win7 several times to get rid of.

This fix didn't work for me but as I was unable to Disable the X-Fi in the Device Mgr., which stated it would require a restart when I tried. I'd tried to kill all related software, but maybe there was something I missed, being the massive driver that it is.
